Jeremiah 50
1 Yahweh gave to [me, ] Jeremiah the prophet, a message about Babylon [city] and the country of Babylonia.
Daytoy ti sao nga impakaammo ni Yahweh maipapan iti Babilonia, a daga dagiti Caldeo, babaen iti ima ni profeta Jeremias,
2 [This is what Yahweh says]: “Proclaim [DOU] [a message] among the nations; do not withhold any of it; raise up a signal flag to announce that Babylon will be captured. [Its chief god] Marduk, [whose other name is] Bel, will be completely disgraced, and all the [other] statues and idols will be shattered.
“Ipakaammom kadagiti nasion ken pagdengngegem ida. Mangingatoka iti pagilasinan ket pagdengngegem ida. Saanmo nga ilemmeng daytoy. Kunam, 'Naparmeken ti Babilonia. Naibabainen ni Bel. Naupayen ni Merodak. Naibabainen dagiti didiosen daytoy; naupayen dagiti imahen daytoy.'
3 [The army of] a nation will come from the north to attack Babylon and destroy the city very thoroughly, [with the result that] no one will live there [again]. Both people and animals will run away.”
Bumangonto ti maysa a nasion manipud iti amianan a bumusor iti daytoy, tapno pagbalinenna a langalang ti daga. Awanto a pulos ti agnaed iti daytoy tao man wenno ayup. Tumaraydanto.
4 “But [I, ] Yahweh, say that in the future, when that is about to happen, the people of Israel and the people of Judah will join together. They will be weeping and wanting [to worship] me, their God.
Kadagidiay nga al-aldaw ken iti dayta a tiempo— daytoy ket pakaammo ni Yahweh—aguummongto nga agsangit dagiti tattao ti Israel ken dagiti tattao ti Juda ken sapulenda ni Yahweh a Diosda.
5 They will inquire about the road to Jerusalem, [and then] they will start traveling [IDM] toward it. They will say [to each other], ‘We must return to Yahweh [again]!’ They will make an everlasting agreement with me that they will never forget.
Saludsodendanto ti dalan nga agturong iti Sion ket agsaganada nga agturong sadiay. Mapandanto makipagmaymaysa kenni Yahweh iti agnanayon a katulagan a saanto a malipat.
6 My people have been [like] [MET] lost sheep. Their [leaders/rulers] have caused them [to abandon me] like [MET] shepherds who have allowed their sheep to wander in the hills and mountains. [My people are like] [MET] sheep that do not know the path to return to the sheepfold.
Naiyaw-awan nga arban dagiti tattaok. Inyaw-awan ida dagiti pastorda kadagiti kabanbantayan; pinaglikaw-likawda ida kadagiti turturod. Pimmanawda, nalipatanda ti lugar a nagnanaedanda.
7 All their enemies who found them attacked them. They said, ‘We did not sin [by attacking them], because they sinned against Yahweh; he is the one who provides what they need; he is the one to whom they should have remained faithful; he is the one whom their ancestors confidently expected [to help them].’
a napan kadakuada ket inalun-onda ida. Kinuna dagiti kabusorda, 'Saantayo a nakabasol, gapu ta nagbasolda kenni Yahweh, a pudpudno a pagtaenganda— ni Yahweh, a namnama dagiti kapuonanda.'
8 [But now, I say to the leaders of my people], ‘Flee from Babylon! Leave the land of Babylonia! Be like [SIM] male goats [that go] in front of [the rest of] the flock; [lead my people back to their own land].
Pumanawkayo iti tengnga ti Babilonia; rummuarkayo manipud iti daga dagiti Caldeo; agbalinkayo koma a kasla kadagiti kalakian a kalding nga umun-una a pumanaw sakbay a rummuar dagiti dadduma iti arban.
9 [Do that] because I am going to gather an army of great nations to the north [of Babylon]. They will join together to attack Babylon and will capture it. Their arrows will be like [SIM] skilled warriors that always hit what they aim at.
Ta kitaenyo, ngannganikon pagtignayen ken bangonen ti maysa a bunggoy dagiti nabileg a nasion manipud iti amianan a maibusor iti Babilonia. Agsaganada a bumusor iti daytoy. Maparmekto ti Babilonia manipud sadiay. Dagiti panada ket kasla maysa a nalaing a mannakigubat a saan nga agsubli nga ima-ima.
10 Babylonia will be conquered, and those who conquer it will take away everything they want. [That will surely happen because I, ] Yahweh, have said it.’”
Agbalinto a samsam ti Caldeo. Mapnekto amin a mangsamsam iti daytoy—daytoy ket pakaammo ni Yahweh.
11 “You people [of Babylon] who (plundered/stole everything valuable from) my chosen people, now you are very happy [DOU]. You run around joyfully like [SIM] a calf in a meadow, and are happy like [SIM] male horses are happy when they are neighing.
Agragrag-okayo, ramrambakanyo ti pannakasamsam ti tawidko; aglaglagtokayo a kasla maysa nga urbon a baka nga aglanglang-ay iti pagarabanna; aggargaraigikayo a kasla maysa a napigsa a kabalio.
12 But [soon] your people will be very disgraced [DOU] [as a result of being conquered]. Your country will be the most insignificant nation; it will be a desert, a dry and deserted land.
Ngem maibabainto unay ti inayo; maibabainto ti nangipasngay kadakayo. Kitaenyo, agbalinto isuna a kanunomoan kadagiti nasion, maysa a let-ang, maysa a natikag a daga ken maysa a disierto.
13 Because [I, ] Yahweh, am angry [with you people of Babylon], I will cause your city to become completely deserted. All who pass by will be horrified and will (gasp/be shocked) because of the destruction there.
Gapu iti pungtot ni Yahweh, Saanto a mapagnaedan ti Babilonia, ngem agbalinto a naan-anay a nadadael. Agpigergerto amin a lumabas gapu iti Babilonia ken agsakuntipto gapu kadagiti amin a sugat daytoy.
14 [All you nations that surround Babylon, ] prepare to attack it! Tell your archers to shoot at their enemies; shoot all of your arrows at them [LIT], because [the people/leaders of Babylon have sinned against me, ] Yahweh.
Agsaganakayo a manglawlaw iti Babilonia. Amin a mangibiat iti panana ket masapul a panaenna daytoy. Saankayo a mangibati kadagiti panayo, ta nagbasol daytoy a maibusor kenni Yahweh.
15 Shout [war-cries] against Babylon from all sides [of the city]. [The soldiers of] Babylon will surrender; the towers and walls will be torn down. It is [I, ] Yahweh, who will be getting revenge [on the people of Babylon], [so help me to] get revenge. Do to [the people of] Babylon what they have done to others!
Agpukkawkayo a sibaballigi a maibusor iti Babilonia iti amin nga aglawlawna. Inrukmanan ti kinabilegna; narpuogen dagiti torrena. Narban dagiti paderna, ta kastoy ti panangibales ni Yahweh. Agibaleskayo iti daytoy! Aramidenyo iti daytoy ti kas iti inaramidna kadagiti dadduma a nasion!
16 Take away from Babylon those who plant [crops] and those who reap the harvests! Because of the swords carried by those who will attack [Babylon], [those people in Babylon who have come from other countries] should all run away, back to their own countries [DOU]!”
Dadaelenyo nga agpada dagiti agmulmula ken dagiti agus-usar iti kumpay iti tiempo ti panagaapit idiay Babilonia. Agsubli koma ti tunggal tao iti bukodna a tattao manipud iti kampilan ti mangidadanes; agsublida koma iti bukodda a daga.
17 “The Israeli [people] are [like] [MET] sheep that have been scattered by lions. First [the army of] the King of Assyria defeated them. Then [the army of] King Nebuchadnezzar of Babylon smashed them.
Ti Israel ket naiwarawara a karnero ken binugaw dagiti leon. Ti ari ti Asiria ti immuna a nangalun-on iti daytoy; ket kalpasan daytoy, tinukkol ni Nebucadnesar nga ari ti Babilonia dagiti tulangna.
18 So this is what I, the Commander of the armies of angels, the God whom the Israeli people [worship], say: ‘Now I will punish the King of Babylon and the people of his land, like I punished the King of Assyria.
Ngarud, ni Yahweh a Mannakabalin-amin, a Dios ti Israel, kastoy ti kuna: Kitaem, ngannganin ti tiempo a panangdusak iti ari ti Babilonia ken ti dagana, a kas iti panangdusak iti ari ti Asiria.
19 And I will bring the people of Israel back to their own land where they will eat [the food that grows] in the fields of the Carmel and Bashan [regions], and [the people in] the hilly areas of Ephraim and Gilead will have all they want to eat.
Isublikto ti Israel iti dagana; Agarabto isuna idiay Carmel ken Basan. Ket mapnekto isuna idiay turod a pagilian ti Efraim ken Galaad.
20 At that time, there will not be people in Israel and in Judah who [are still guilty for having] sinned [DOU], because I will forgive the small group of people whom I enable to still be alive.’”
Kadagidiay nga al-aldaw ken iti dayta a tiempo, kuna ni Yahweh, agbirokdanto iti nakaro a basol ti Israel, ngem awanto iti masarakan. Agsaludsodakto maipapan kadagiti basol ti Juda, ngem awanto iti masarakan, ta pakawanekto dagiti natda nga imbatik.”
21 “[So, I, Yahweh, say to the enemies of Babylonia, ]‘Attack [the people who live in] the Merathaim [region] and the people in the Pekod [region of Babylonia]. Pursue them, kill them, and completely get rid of them, as I have commanded you to do.
“Tumakderka a maibusor iti daga ti Merataim, maibusor iti daytoy ken kadagiti agnanaed iti Pekod. Papatayem ida babaen iti kampilan ken ilasinmo ida para iti pannakadadael— daytoy ket pakaammo ni Yahweh— aramidem amin a banbanag nga ibilbilinko kenka.
22 Shout your battle cries throughout the land; shout [when you are causing] great destruction.
Ti daranudor ti gubat ken ti nakaro a pannakadadael ket adda iti daga.
23 [The army of Babylon is like] [MET] the most powerful hammer on the earth, but it will be completely shattered. Babylon will be deserted among the [other] nations.’
Anian a pannakadadael ti martilio dagiti amin a daga. Anian ta nagbalin ti Babilonia a pagbutbutngan dagiti nasion.
24 You [people of] Babylon, [listen, ] [because] I have set a trap for you; you will be caught [in that trap], because you fought against me.
Nangisaganaak iti silo para kenka. Natiliwka Babilonia, ket saanmo nga ammo daytoy! Nasarakanka ket tiniliwka, agsipud ta kinaritnak, siak a ni Yahweh.
25 [It is as though] I have opened the place where I store my weapons, and I have brought out [all] the weapons [to use against the people with whom] I am angry. [I, ] the Commander of the armies of angels, have [a lot of] work to do [to punish] the people of Babylonia.
Linukatan ni Yahweh ti pagiduldulinan ti armasna ket inruarna dagiti igamna gapu iti pungtotna. Adda trabaho ni Yahweh nga Apo a Mannakabalin-amin idiay daga dagiti Caldeo.
26 [So, you enemies of Babylonia, ] come from distant lands and attack it. Break open the places where they store the grain. Crush the walls of the city and the houses and pile up [the rubble like] [SIM] heaps of grain. Destroy everything; do not leave anything that is not destroyed.
Rautem ti Babilonia manipud iti adayo. Lukatam dagiti garongna ken ummungem daytoy a kasla gabsuon iti bukbukel. Ilasinmo isuna para iti pannakadadael. Awan iti ibatim kenkuana.
27 Destroy all the [young men who are as strong as] [MET] bulls; take them to where you will slaughter them. It will be terrible for them, because it will be time for them to be punished.
Patayem amin dagiti bulogna. Ibaonmo ida iti lugar a pagpatpatayan. Asida pay, ta dimtengen ti aldawda— ti tiempo a pannakadusada.
28 Listen to the people who have fled and escaped from Babylon while they tell in Jerusalem how [I, ] Yahweh, have gotten revenge against those who destroyed my temple [in Jerusalem].
Adda iti dalagudog dagiti agtataray, dagiti nakalasat, manipud iti daga ti Babilonia. Ipadamag dagitoy ti panagibales ni Yahweh a Diostayo para iti Sion, ken panagibales para iti templona.”
29 Summon archers [DOU] to come to attack Babylon; surround the city in order that no one will escape. Do to [the people of] Babylon what they have done to others [DOU], because they have defied [me, ] the Holy One of the Israeli [people].
Paayabam dagiti pumapana a maibusor iti Babilonia— dagiti amin a mangibibiat iti panada. Agkampokayo a maibusor iti Babilonia, ket saanyo nga ipalubos nga adda makalibas. Pagbayadenyo isuna iti inaramidna. Aramidenyo kenkuana ti kas iti inaramidna. Ta tinulawanna ni Yahweh, a Nasantoan ti Israel.
30 The young men of Babylon will fall in the streets; all their soldiers will be killed in one day.
Isu a maidasayto dagiti agtutubona a lallaki kadagiti paguummongan a disso iti siudad, ken madadaelto amin dagiti mannakigubatna a lallaki iti dayta nga aldaw— daytoy ket pakaammo ni Yahweh.”
31 [I, ] the Commander of the armies of angels, say this: ‘You arrogant/proud people, it is now the time; it is the time [DOU] when I will punish you.
Kitaem, maibusorak kenka, sika a natangsit—daytoy ti pakaammo ni Yahweh nga Apo a Mannakabalin-amin—ta dimtengen ti aldawmo, sika a natangsit, ti tiempo a dusaenka.
32 [Your land is full of] proud people, but you will stumble and fall, and no one will lift you up [again]. I will light a fire in the cities in Babylonia that will burn up everything that is nearby.’
Isu a maitibkol ken matumbanto dagiti natangsit. Awanto ti mangibangon kadakuada. Mangpasgedakto iti apuy kadagiti siudadda; Alun-unento daytoy dagiti amin a banag iti aglawlawna.
33 [I], the Commander of the armies of angels, also say this: ‘The people of Israel and Judah were (oppressed/treated cruelly); those who captured them guarded them carefully and would not allow them to leave [Babylon].
Kastoy ti kuna ni Yahweh a Mannakabalin amin: Maparparigat dagiti tattao ti Israel, a kaduada dagiti tattao ti Juda. Amin a nangtiliw kadakuada ket tengtenglenda pay laeng ida; agkedkedda a mangwayawaya kadakuada.
34 But I am strong, and I will free them. I am the Commander of the armies of angels; I will defend my people and enable them [to return to] their land where they will have peace, but the people of Babylonia will not have peace.
Nabileg ti mangis-ispal kadakuada. Yahweh a Mannakabalin-amin ti naganna. Pudno nga ikanawananto ida, tapno iyegna ti inana iti daga, ken iyegna ti riribuk kadagiti agnanaed iti Babilonia.
35 [I will send enemy soldiers carrying] swords [PRS] to strike the people of Babylonia; they will strike the officials and wise men and all the [other] people who live in Babylon.
Adda kampilan a maibusor kadagiti Caldeo — kastoy ti pakaammo ni Yahweh—ken maibusor kadagiti agnanaed iti Babilonia, kadagiti mangidadaulona, ken dagiti mamasiribna a lallaki.
36 They will strike their false prophets with swords and they will become foolish. They will strike the [strongest] warriors of Babylonia, and they will all be terrified.
Adda kampilan nga umay a maibusor kadagiti agipadpadles, tapno ipakitada a mismo a maagda. Adda kampilan nga umay a maibusor kadagiti soldadona, isu a mabutengdanto la unay.
37 They will strike their horses and chariots and the foreigners who are in the army of Babylonia, and they will [all] become [as weak] as [MET] women. They will seize [MTY] all the valuable things there in Babylon and take them away.
Adda kampilan nga umay a maibusor kadagiti kabalioda, kadagiti karuaheda ken kadagiti amin a tattao nga adda iti tengnga ti Babilonia, isu nga agbalindanto a kasla babbai. Adda kampilan nga umay a maibusor kadagiti kamaligna, ket masamsamandanto.
38 [I] cause the streams to become dry. [I will do all those things] because the [entire] land [of Babylonia] is filled with idols, and those [horrible] idols have caused the people [who worship them] to become crazy.
Adda kampilan nga umay a maibusor kadagiti danumna, isu a matianandanto. Ta ti Babilonia ket maysa a daga dagiti awan serserbina a didiosen, ken agtigtignayda a kas kadagiti tattao a pinagbagtit dagiti nakabutbuteng nga imahenda.
39 [Soon only] hyenas and [other] wild creatures will live there; and it will be a place where owls live. People will never live there again; it will be uninhabited forever [DOU].
Agnaedto ngarud sadiay dagiti ayup ti desierto a kadua dagiti atap nga aso, ken agnaedto iti daytoy dagiti piyek dagiti ostrich. Ta iti amin a tiempo, saanton a mapagnaedan daytoy. Iti amin a henerasion, awanto iti agnaed iti daytoy.
40 [I will destroy Babylon] like I destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah and the nearby towns; no one will [ever] live there [again] [DOU].
Kas iti panangdadael ti Dios iti Sodoma ken Gomorra ken kadagiti kaarrubada— daytoy ket pakaammo ni Yahweh— awanto iti agnaed sadiay; awanto ti tao nga aggian iti daytoy.”
41 Look! A [great] army will come from the north. A great nation far away with many kings is preparing [to attack you people of Babylon].
Kitaem, adda tattao nga umay manipud idiay amianan, ta agsagsagana ti maysa a nabileg a nasion ken dagiti adu nga ari manipud iti adayo a daga.
42 Their [army] has bows [and arrows] and spears; they are [very] cruel, and do not act mercifully [to anyone]. [As] they ride along on [their] horses, the sound of the horses’ hooves is like [SIM] the roaring of the ocean [waves]; they are riding in battle formation to attack you, you people of Babylon.
Nakaiggemdanto kadagiti pana ken gaygayang. Nauyongda ken awan iti asida. Ti daranudorda ket kasla ungor ti baybay, ken nakasakayda kadagiti kabalio a nakasagana a kas kadagiti mannakigubat a lallaki, a maibusor kenka, annak a babbai ti Babilonia.
43 The King of Babylon says, “[I] have heard reports about the enemy [approaching]; [so I am very frightened, with the result that] I am weak. I am [very fearful, and] anguished/worried, like [SIM] a woman who is about to give birth to a baby.”
Nangngeg ti ari ti Babilonia ti impadamagda ket kimmapsut dagiti imana gapu iti ladingit. Napalalo nga ut-ot ti marikriknana a kas iti agpaspasikal a babai.
44 I, [Yahweh], will come to Babylon [suddenly] like a lion comes out of the jungle and [leaps on the sheep that are eating] the good pastureland. I will quickly chase the people of Babylonia from their land. And [then] I will appoint for them [a leader] whom I will choose; [I will do that] because there is no one [RHQ] like me who can say that what I have done is not right. No ruler can [RHQ] oppose me.
Adtoy! Sumangsang-at isuna a kasla leon manipud kadagiti kabanbantayan ti Jordan nga agturong iti nalangto a pagaraban, ta pagtarayekto ida a dagus manipud iti daytoy, ket mangisaadakto iti maysa a tao a mangimaton iti daytoy. Ta adda kadi iti kas kaniak, ken adda kadi iti makapaayab kaniak? Adda kadi agpaspastor a makabael nga agkedked kaniak?
45 Listen to what I have planned to do to the people of Babylon [city] and the rest of Babylonia: [even] the little children will be dragged away, and I will completely destroy the people [MET] who live there.
Isu a denggenyo dagiti panggep nga inkeddeng ni Yahweh a maibusor iti Babilonia, dagiti plano a pinanggepna a maibusor iti daga dagiti Caldeo. Maitalawdanto, uray dagiti kababassitan nga arban. Agbalinto a langalang dagiti pagpaarabanda.
46 When Babylon is destroyed, the noise will be extremely loud, with the result that the earth will shake, and the wailing of the people will be heard by the [people of other] nations.’”
Iti daranudor ti pannakaparmek ti Babilonia aggingined ti daga, ken ti riyaw ti pannakaparigatda ket mangngeg kadagiti nasion.”
